CAIRO – A British primary school has been taken to court over refusing to allow a female pupil to wear hijab (Muslim headscarf).

“The school is being taken to the High Court by parents of a Muslim girl,” Kate Magliocco, head of St Cyprian’s Greek Orthodox Primary School in Thornton Heath, told London Evening Standard on Wednesday, January 2.

A Muslim couple have filed a lawsuit before the High Court to force the school to allow their nine-year-old child to wear hijab in classes.
